We've identified a server side issue which is causing some default games (Medley games) to be created on the Japanese and Asian servers for North American players and vice versa. When this happens, players experience higher than normal latency as they are playing on servers which are not located locally. This issue was recently made worse when the number of North American hosted servers was reduced.
Last year I wrote an article titled, The State of SOCOM. I discussed my
love and history for the beloved third person shooter that helped pioneer
online multiplayer on consoles. It has been six years since we last had a
new SOCOM game.
Baffles me as to why they have not done anything with this franchise. Seeing as how it was #1 on the official PlayStation poll.
With all the trash put up weekly on the App Store why has nobody done a clone of this yet. I've been playing Defiance as my go to 3rd person since 2013 but still nothing like that old school Socom/Socom 2 up all night gameplay.
the only game on that list that's like socom is wild land if you want socom type games then you will have to invest in a PC
RAINBOW SIX: is the closest you'll get to Socom.
Also, in response to @lookatthisi
They let go the creators, and I think socom is a game that's hard to clone even the creators had a hard time making Socom 2, Socom 3.

"Would you purchase a game you can’t play for a single penny? Video game retailer GameStop seems to think that it is worth trying to sell to this market."
Depends the situation. Usually if they have a trade in X and get Y bonus for preowned purchases, a store will let you have the excess credit if you make 1 purchase and 1 cent is cheap enough where I wouldn't have to bother returning it or eating the cost out of laziness.

MAG will be missed, my all-time favorite shooter. They're shutting servers down in January.
at least it doesnt lagg as bad as glitches of war 2
dont know what sony and Zipper where thinking when they decided to give slant 6 the development of the new socom , the gameplay is great no doubt about it but still have some technical issues and theres no excuse , its just multiplayer only , Zipper should have handled it, i hope MAG make up for this and the new socom zipper should handle it not /6
LMFAO
really? who would have thought that reducing servers would cause an issue..
not I..
sigh......................... .......
Slant Six is right up there with Spark Unlimited as far as the worst game developers. I have never seen such an unskilled bunch of people in my life. They can't even get the main menu to run smooth!!! The damn things stutters, lags, and becomes all choppy when clicking options/buttons. Socom is a buggy, broken, lagfest, even 4 months after launch. Not to mention it is STILL missing the features listed in the manual and back of the box. I am tired of the constant stuttering and broken stat tracking. After being delayed for a long time, having a beta, and being an online only title, this is unacceptable. By the time they fix this nobody is going to give a damn...hell I don't think anyone cares now.
